UNSPSC 50473201: Canned or jarred organic aloha corn

The variety of organic corn known as organic aloha corn that has been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50473201 Canned or jarred organic aloha corn is a Commodity code that reflects minimal current state and local procurement activity specific to this specialized product line, with recent opportunities showing only tangential relevance to the code's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services entities, covering hundreds of line items across multiple categories rather than focusing on canned organic corn specifically. State and local food procurement is dominated by school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia; Burke County Public Schools in Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the Illinois Veterans Home system. These issuing bodies consolidate food purchases across multiple delivery points and hundreds of SKUs in annual or multi-year contracts rather than procuring single items like organic corn.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, with multiple school districts soliciting food contracts) and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections). Texas issues substantial health and human services food procurements, and Virginia, Missouri, and Illinois round out the geographic spread. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for FY 26-27 school nutrition food products (due June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (due April 6, 2026 — though the source summary is incomplete). These are demand-driven contracts with estimated annual values ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million, firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment, and awards based on lowest responsive bid or best value. The code shows little targeted procurement for organic aloha corn as a standalone item; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that food service buyers consolidate purchases across dozens of product categories, and competitive success requires capability to supply full line items meeting USDA and nutritional standards rather than specialty products in isolation.
